Problem Solution
Dishwasher leaks • Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation
Instructions.)
• Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent
carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher.
Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent
if sudsing continues. (pg. 15)
• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 9).
• To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is
securely attached.
Indicator lights flashing • All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running
cycle or delay.
• The currently selected cycle flashes if an attempt is made to change
the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
• The locked indicator flashes if a pad is pressed while the child lock is
enabled. (pg. 20)
Glasses are cloudy/spotted • Select Hi Temp option.
• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).
• Always use a rinse aid.
• Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white
vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due
to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water
hardness (pg. 15). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a
high quality brand.
• If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the
surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too
hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent
needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware
is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the
detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and
use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is
below 120° F (49° C).
Dishware is chipped • Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other
(pgs. 11-12).
• Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not
recommended. (pg. 7)
• Do not load glasses over the tines.
• Do not overload
